00:00:40.000His spirit, his love of this country, he's done an amazing job building one of the most powerful youth organizations ever created, Turning Point USA.
00:00:48.000We will not embrace the ideas that have destroyed countries, destroyed lives, and we are going to fight for freedom on campuses across the country.
00:00:59.000Did you know that if you shop at Nike, they turn around and give your hard-earned dollars to pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood and the Population Council?
00:01:07.000Did you know that Airbnb gave $500,000 to the Marxist Black Lives Matter organization?
00:01:13.000Your first vote is at the ballot box, but that isn't enough to defend our traditional Judeo-Christian values.
00:01:19.000Left-wing corporations are subverting our democracy by taking money from conservative customers and giving it to radical organizations that support abortion, gun control, and critical race theory.
00:01:30.000You have another vote, a second vote at the checkout line.
00:01:33.000And that is where massively important organizations called Second Vote come in.
00:01:38.000The courageous people at Second Vote are exposing corporations for how they spend your money.
00:04:04.000And I'm proud to be sort of looking ahead to the work that we have to do in the Congress to be worthy of the Republican majority that is, I think, forthcoming.
00:04:14.000Yeah, and we don't have to spend the whole conversation on this.
00:05:05.000We're familiar with that pattern where the New York Times, the mainstream media sort of act as a conduit to justify very dangerous, very bad people in our government doing bad things to people.
00:05:16.000I mean, remember, it was the Michael Issakoff piece in Yahoo News that the FBI went and planted.
00:05:22.000Well, yeah, no, the FBI goes and plants a piece with Michael Isakoff and Yahoo News saying, oh, Trump is a Russian agent.
00:05:29.000And then they went and used the piece that they had planted to justify their FISA applications.
00:05:36.000Well, we have constitutional rights for a reason.
00:05:38.000It's supposed to protect us from tyrannical government.
00:05:42.000And you're supposed to know what you're accused of before your rights are taken away.
00:05:48.000But the kind of middle ground that has been developed is, well, we can destroy your credibility, force you into resignation, try to destroy how people view you, you know, outside of any of that.
00:06:03.000And there's a real echo chamber for it.
00:06:05.000I mean, when you see the unity of purpose between the corrupt elements of our government, the corrupt elements of big tech, and the corrupt elements of mainstream media, that can really create a whirlwind and a cyclone.
00:06:16.000And by the way, we're now seeing that play out with this BS January 6th investigation, where you've got the January 6th committee in secret conducting interviews and depositions, selectively leaking Mark Meadows' text messages or other references, and then trying to use that to build a case that wouldn't stand if it was subject to the license.
00:06:38.000Well, and not even asking questions about Ray Epps or any of these other revolver.
00:07:29.000And I think that increasingly the censures and the obsession with Paul Gosar's anime or Lauren Boebert's jokes are really for they really tell the direction the Democrats are going because they expected that this infrastructure bill was going to create some updraft in their polling, that it would help their frontline.
00:07:51.000People are like, wait, you're spending more money on electric vehicle stations?
00:07:55.000Yeah, I mean, People are worried about the kitchen table economics, and the infrastructure bill doesn't do anything for kitchen table economics.
00:08:03.000And I think that is the major problem they face.
00:08:06.000And so, what they're there's a certain like 2004 Bush-Cheney energy to this, if you think about it, right?
00:08:12.000George Bush thought that he was going to have this No Child Left Behind education bill to run on, and it wasn't popular.
00:08:18.000And so, in 2004, he and Cheney said, you know, those Democrats are dangerous, and if you vote for them, you know, you won't be safe.
00:08:24.000Now, I think you see Democrats kind of running that Bush-Cheney playbook saying, Well, we haven't really done very much for you, but the Republicans are all insurrectionists and terrible people, and so continue to give us power.
00:08:46.000And so, look, I'm really frustrated that the national conversation has to be hijacked by January 6th committee.
00:08:54.000But if that's the case, if that's really the powers to be, I think that Darren Beattie's instincts say, okay, you want to play ball around that day?
00:09:30.000Anyone that would smash windows at our Capitol or walk into the Capitol just kind of belligerently, I don't like it, and I want you to be held accountable for that.
00:09:39.000And hitting police officers is totally unacceptable, right?
00:09:42.000But those people should be held accountable under the standards for those violations of law.
00:09:51.000But the point that Darren Beattie made was not excusing any of that violence.
00:09:55.000In fact, he denounces it in his piece.
00:09:57.000He says, who is this Ray Epps that might have been encouraging it and inciting it?
00:10:02.000And someone who might actually have been choreographing the crowd, who knows how to say perfectly placed statements, or how to throw gasoline on a fire, or how to remove a gate of entry where proud boys might be marching towards.
00:10:16.000Those are really important questions, right?
00:10:19.000And the reason they're important is because the entire construct, right, of the left's narrative is that Trump incited this thing, which of course is not true.
00:10:31.000So if incitement is now the most important thing to discover, how about the guy that is like mega alpha on top of the steps multiple times, including the night before, saying, we got to go into the Capitol.
00:11:18.000Well, the question I get around the country from our fellow Americans is, well, who's going to answer these questions for us?
00:11:24.000Because whether it's January 6th, whether it's kind of the origins of coronavirus, whether it's the criminal activity of the Biden family, which is extensive, Americans want to believe that if they give Republicans power, that we will actually use it to answer these questions.
00:11:41.000And frankly, many of my voters, many Republicans, feel a little spurned by Republicans who've broken promises in the past.
00:11:51.000I mean, we promised we were going to repeal Obamacare.
00:11:53.000I can't recall how many times Lindsey Graham was on Sean Hannity's show saying he was going to be calling Hunter Biden in any moment to answer questions, and that didn't happen.
00:12:02.000Or just even more basic stuff is we're going to get to the bottom of the Comey stuff.
00:12:58.000I think that it has to be more of a structural change.
00:13:02.000Right now, the way to become a committee chairman in the Congress is to have the special interests and lobbyists who seek to influence that committee want you to be the chairman because then they launder the donations through the NRCC and through congressional leadership funds to try to get that person in that place.
00:13:21.000And so you have a universe of committee chairmen who are essentially captive to the lobby core for that particular committee.
00:13:53.000Yeah, no, Jim's, I think Jim will be chairman of the Judiciary Committee or if he has the authority from on high.
00:14:02.000And I think Jim is one of our best members when it comes to pursuing oversight.
00:14:06.000Jim has actually said if he becomes chairman, he's going to create an oversight and investigations subcommittee of the Judiciary Committee, and I intend to chair it.
00:14:17.000Look, everyone out there has been asking me, Charlie, how do I get more pillows?
00:14:24.000And MyPillow doesn't have their box stores anymore, so we got to help them out.
00:14:27.000And part of them being canceled, they want to give you the lowest price yet.
00:14:31.000So you can get the lowest price in the history of MyPillow for their classic standard MyPillow, regularly, $69.98, now only $19.98 with the promo code.
00:14:41.000They also have queen size, regularly $79.98 and $24.98 with a promo code.
00:14:46.000Or king size, usually $89.98, only $29.98 with your promo code.
00:15:50.000We have to have compelling candidates.
00:15:52.000And that's why what Turning Point has done with this America conference, this pro-America conference we've been enjoying, is so important because it actually gives our candidates the right tone, the right message, the right infrastructure to be able to go and win.
00:16:08.000And I think that if we just say, well, the generic ballot looks good for us, we could look past some of these specific tacticals.
00:16:14.000Yeah, I think what you're talking about is we also have to play to win, not as if we've already won and just play defense and talk about corporate tax cuts, right?
00:16:20.000Yeah, I mean, Zombie Reagan isn't coming to save us.
00:16:23.000And so, you know, just sort of hearkening back to the zombie Reagan issue matrix won't be helpful.
00:16:29.000Our voters are not going to trust candidates who don't say that they value the people's vote.
00:16:47.000I mean, we got rid of those folks in the first 10 days of the DeSantis administration.
00:16:51.000And now, lo and behold, we count the ballots as they come in, not hundreds of thousands in a night when certain urban areas seem to be almost waiting to figure out how many ballots they can will into existence.
00:17:05.000And so I think that election integrity issue is very important in a lot of these primaries that I see playing out across the country.
00:17:13.000I think if Republicans run on specific promises they can deliver, and they actually deliver them, then I think that they're going to be rewarded.
00:17:22.000And the biggest promise is answers, meaning that you're not going to be able to get a border wall under this regime.
00:18:03.000Yeah, I think that we have to take that a step further.
00:18:06.000If we answer those questions, then what we'll do is we'll connect the pain that Americans are feeling right now with the bad choices that the Biden regime's going to be.
00:19:00.000That's a good Morton Blackwell one of a lot of those personnel decisions.
00:19:04.000And if Kevin McCarthy says those things to Axios, he has to back it up by saying we're going to ditch the seniority-based system.
00:19:12.000And instead of committee chairman, prospective committee chairman coming and pitching, oh, well, this is the bill I want to pass, or this is the interest group I want to please, they have to come and say, you know what, I want to chair ways and means, and here are the first three investigations I'm going to start.
00:19:26.000I want to chair education and labor, and this is how we're going after the Biden Senate at UPEN.
00:19:30.000We need to have a deluge of subpoenas happening in every place.
00:19:34.000So let me ask you, this is an interest, this is a weird question.
00:19:36.000But so you visited the D.C. jail and they didn't let you in.
00:19:51.000Matter of fact, it really is unprecedented what's going on at the DC jail.
00:19:55.000When Trump was president, you had Rashida Tlaib and Pramila Jayapal going down to the border and going into almost any detention facility they wanted to.
00:20:03.000Yeah, but like, so when you get, why don't we just show up, like, not we, but you guys just show up at the IRS office once a month.
00:20:21.000The Republican majority that I hope we establish would believe more in those direct action steps.
00:20:27.000I don't think people elect us just to go vote yes or no ones.
00:20:32.000I think they want us to be representative of their interests.
00:20:35.000That's why when Adam Schiff was running the sham Ukraine impeachment down in the bunker of the basement, I showed up and 50 people and we blew them out of this.
00:20:46.000You know, that's why I showed up with Marjorie Taylor Green and Louis Gomeert to the jail, to the Department of Justice.
00:20:50.000But frankly, we need to grow our allegiance.
00:20:53.000It's different than when four or five people show up than when 40 or 50 show up.
00:20:56.000Well, yeah, or it's just like, hey, there's 10 congressmen and they're going to the Department of Justice and you're going to let them in.
00:21:02.000They're going to sit in a conference room on the fifth floor and they're not going to leave until they get answers about the National School Board Association letter.
00:21:11.000Now, that right there, I've asked constitutional lawyers, they're like, yeah, I guess you could do that.
00:21:18.000The question is, the executive branch, they can't lock out Congress from walking into these buildings.
00:21:23.000Like enough of the committees, enough of the like well-rehearsed, just show up at the Department of Energy and be like, hey, do you guys want to get rid of fossil fuels?
00:21:47.000The FBI calls title fraud one of the fastest growing crimes and it can ruin you financially, which is why you need home title lock.
00:21:53.000Title fraud happens when a criminal forges your signature on documents stating you sold your home to him.
00:21:57.000Then he takes out loans against your home and leaves with the payments.
00:22:00.000You'll spend a fortune in legal fees trying to prove you didn't commit fraud.
00:22:03.000Home title lock puts a barrier around your home's title.
00:22:07.000The instant they detect anyone, from a cyber thief to a renter to a relative trying to forge their way to your home's title, they help shut it down.
00:22:13.000Go to home titlelock.com and register your address now to see if you're already a victim.
00:22:52.000If you think about it, like, that's the way oversight would have been done in, like, 1820, right?
00:22:57.000Like, if you think about it, they would just like show up.
00:22:58.000Like, yeah, just go to the Department of State and figure it out.
00:23:02.000But now it's all theater, isn't it, Matt?
00:23:03.000Well, it is true, and we've talked a lot about this, Charlie, that, you know, most members of Congress spend most of their days raising money.
00:23:21.000Is it time to publicly finance our elections?
00:23:24.000I am not a fan of that because I don't believe that taxpayers think that money should be taken from them involuntarily to fund the ambitions of politicians.
00:25:13.000That is the Kinzinger play that's going on right now.
00:25:16.000Adam Kinzinger is out there from the lobbyists and the special interests trying to be the maestro of that special interest money ecosystem.
00:25:39.000Well, it's about how the money is used, too.
00:25:41.000We have so many new ways to distribute content.
00:25:43.000There are fewer choke points, I think, as particularly conservative media becomes more fragmented, less homogenous.
00:25:51.000And it's an exciting time to bounce ideas off each other, to find inspirational candidates and campaigns.
00:25:57.000There are a number around the country that I think are really going to flavor the Republican Conference in a meaningful way.
00:26:02.000Yeah, those are some very serious, like actually substantive changes that we should be talking about.
00:26:08.000Okay, so I just want to get your kind of thought on this as we close, because we've got to go do our radio show.
00:26:15.000It's the most depressed, most drug-addicted, most drug-overdosed, least married, most suicidal, least childborn generation in American history.
